Consular protection of Danish citizens abroad
When in a non-EU country where there is no Danish embassy, Danish citizens as EU citizens have the right to get consular protection from the embassy of any other EU country present in that country.Note that the Faroe Islands belong to the Kingdom of Denmark, but not to the EU. Greenland left the EC in 1985, but its inhabitants are regarded as EU citizens. Persons moving to and permanently living in Denmark from the other parts of the Kingdom can become "full" EU citizens.
Further, according to the Helsinki treaty, public officials in the foreign services of any of the Nordic countries are to assist citizens of another Nordic country if that country is not represented in the territory concerned.
